Let $X$ be the set of natural numbers whose all digits in the decimal representation are different. For $n \in N$, denote by $A_n$ the set of numbers whose digits are a permutation of the digits of $n$, and $d_n$ be the greatest common divisor of the numbers in $A_n$. (For example, $A_{1120} =\{112,121,...,2101,2110\}$, so $d_{1120} = 1$.) Find the maximum possible value of $d_n$.

Suppose $ \,G\,$ is a connected graph with $ \,k\,$ edges. Prove that it is possible to label the edges $ 1,2,\ldots ,k\,$ in such a way that at each vertex which belongs to two or more edges, the greatest common divisor of the integers labeling those edges is equal to 1. [b]Note: Graph-Definition[/b]. A [b]graph[/b] consists of a set of points, called vertices, together with a set of edges joining certain pairs of distinct vertices. Each pair of vertices $ \,u,v\,$ belongs to at most one edge. The graph $ G$ is connected if for each pair of distinct vertices $ \,x,y\,$ there is some sequence of vertices $ \,x \equal{} v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},\cdots ,v_{m} \equal{} y\,$ such that each pair $ \,v_{i},v_{i \plus{} 1}\;(0\leq i < m)\,$ is joined by an edge of $ \,G$.
